A CLUB AT OAKS.

EDITOR PROGRESSIVE FARMER:-A
dozen farmers met at Oaks, in Or
ange county, Jan. 9Th, and organ
lied club to promote the best in
terests of the farming classes. The
day was very upfavorable, and only
short notice had been given, but a
very general interest was felt in the
objects of the meeting The men,
bers were unanimously in favor of
holding a Mass Convention Of far
mers in Raleigh, to permanently
organize and unite the farmers, and
consider what Legislation, if any, can
be had for the benefit of the farming
classes.
Another meeting was appointed
to be held January 10Th, to elect del
egates to the Mass Convention to
be held in Raleigh.
Alex. McIver was elected Presi-

DIXON SPEAKS.

Dear brother ''Job," | read your
letter in the PROGRESSIVE FARMER.
You are right. am with you heart
and soul and there are thousands and
tens Of thousands of farmers all
over this land who feel as we do.
But | see no effective remedy for
the evils that are being heaped upon
us this side of the ballot box Farm
ing clubs and organizing is all right
as far as it goes, but at last we must
go to the ballot box for relief. This
must be government Of the people
for the people, and not Of monopoly
for monopoly. for one would be
glad to see the farmers convention
when it meets adopt declaration
of purposes and principles SO we
may crystalize the sentiment of
sur people and act understandingly
together. There are questions of
momentous Importance which should
be considered by that convention.
Hoping to meet you in Raleigh on
the 26th, | am respectfully,

opinion that there are at least
SO per cent more dwarfed constitu-
tions now than there were forty
years ago and they cannot all be at
tributed to ''soda bread and western
side-meat, for these were in COM
mon use at that time-tobacco was
not. Sallow faces in healthy To-

to the amount of tobacco used, espec-
tally if the use was begun in boy
hood. Most nervous diseases have
similar origin. Destroy or impair
a mans nervous system and he be-
comes shaking mass Of unfitness

abuse, and this is another mitigating
clause in favor Of the weed that
some other luxuries cannot honestly
claim. Man is almost alone in the
use of it, His only rivals are the

He can with some degree Of truth
say that he is growing it for the

goodly number present. We are
glad to note the regular evening
meetings growing more interesting
Mr.. w. W. Reich WAS elected to
membership. Y
The subject for aiscussion was
waived for consideration of other
business.
J. n. Reich spoke very earnestly
in favor of reorganization of the
State Board Of Agriculture SO as to
be Of more practical benefit to the
farmer or abolish it entirely Also
in favor Of working a certain class
of convicts on our public roads in
stead Of hiring them to railroad
companies. Also the abolition Of
the crop mortgage system for com
mercial fertilizers To prevent usu-
ry as at present practiced. The fer
tilizing companies can get an enor-
nous rate Of Is or 20 per cent,
whereas by law Gf not for this sys-
temp they could only collect 6 per
cent. We not only pay a large per
cent on a mortgage but pay 500
more per ton when buying on
time
Isaac Reich spoke briefly on the
Privilege tax on commercial fertili
zers, so as to invite competition
in our markets and by 50 doing re-
duce the prices.
PA. Cox spoke favorabIy Of ahoI-
ishing the State immigration office.
Said he welcomed all good citizens
who chose to come and dwell with
us, whether rich or poor, but was
opposed to the State A gricultural So
ciety employing agents to encourage
foreign immigration to the State
and thought something should be
done to prevent the destruction of
our timber and prevent wealthy
syndicates from acquiring large bod
speculation.
The following resolutions were
passed for the consideration of the
farmers convention on the 26:

Resolyed, Sd, That the office of State
immigration Agent should be abolished.
Resolved, 4th, That we favor working
convict labor On our public roads instead
of hiring to Rail Road Companies.
Resolved, 5th, That we ask the legisla-
ture to amend, in its wisdom, the law
in relation to cruelty to animals, so as to
make it more easily enforced.
Resolved, 9th, That the crop lien or
mortgage system should be abolished in
regard to commercial fertilizers.

The subject for discussion was
taken up and discussed by the fol-
lowing gentlemen, to-wit F. w.
Pfaff, Isaac Petree, A. j. .Burrus and
G. w Mitchell
F. W. Pfaff.-Gentlemen, The
subject for discussion to-ng ght is
winter work on the farm. We should
prepare our fre-wood for winter,
look out for cattle that they have
good, warm quarters, repair our
buildings, haul trash and other re-
fuse in our barn lots, &c.
Isaac Petree.-We should get up
our fire wood for winter use, spend
a good deal Of our time in our barn
lots making all the manure we can,
patch the leaky roofs, turn our land
for corn and oats, when weather
permits, and when it SHOWS 90 a
rabbit hunting and enjoy ourselves
and catch all the rabbits we can, for
they will save the ravages on the
meat tub.
A. J. Burrus.-Not being a pro-
gressive farmer, [ am like the man
was that wore a wooden leg. Being
asked why he did, he said: "My
father, grand father, and great-grand-
father wore wooden legs, and it
seems to run in the family" We
have what is called four seasons in
the year-Spring, Summer, Autumn
and Winter. December is the first Of
the winter months; the wheat being
sown, and corn gathered and housed,
the winter work on the farm com
mences The first thing is to pre-
pare our fire wood for the winter use,
turn our corn land and get ready for
the next crop, burn our plant beds.
Do not cut any more timber for
the sake of planting tobacco, but
make manure and plant old fields,
and then sow in clover and grass,
and in a few years you will see our
Masterpieces blossom like an Eden.
February is the time for us to COM
mence sowing our oat crop-try and
SOW all we can, for there is not a
better nutriment raised On the farm
than oats, for all kinds Of stock.
David Endsley.-I do not favor
breaking land in winter. [ think it
is injurious to it-causes it to run
together and bake, and it does not
stand the drouth as we'll as it does
in the spring. My motto is, to
break and plant, but for oats think
it best to break in winter
G. w. Mitchell-I break my land
in the fall, before Christmas; if it is
good plow-weather the land will
pulverize and stand the drouth bet
ter than land broke in Spring, and
the cut-worm is not SO bad, and you
can get better stand of corn. lido

weight at half his age. These are the
triumphs of judicious breeding and
skillful and generous feeding, each a
science of itself too little studied or
understood.
The Holstein as a milk and butter
producer is not excelled, while their
blocky %carcasses, well rounded quar-
tiers and large size commend them
both to the farmer and the butcher.
Thus are they of all beef breeds the
best mixers, of all dairy breeds the
best beef producers, combining in the
same animal the two great useful
qualities of the bovine race.
I'd. They are hearty feeders, turning
the rough feed on the farm to the best
possible account in the production of
milk and beef. This fact brings Hol-
stein and grade steers in great de-
mand by feeders. The calves also,
when weaned at any age, take to
drinking and eating so readily as to
ensure the largest growth for,food con-
sumed. This is an item of the great
est importance.
Sd Their vigorous constitution and
hearty appetites adapt them to all
climates and conditions of circum-
stance, feed or pasture.
4th. They are the oldest and best
defined race of cattle known, hence
their breeding qualities are of the
highest type, and for grading purpo-
ses unexcelled. They rarely fail to
stamp their impress upon their prog
eny both as to quality and color. In
the years of our breeding crossing up
on full blood COWS andall manner of
grades and scrubs, but three calves
have failed to have the original black
and white colors. In this l challenge
the world for a better record. This
fact makes it all important to pur-
chase Holstein only of reliable breed
ers, for no man can tell q full blood
from a grade from external appear
ance.
9th. Their docile disposition COM
mend them, for no place in the world
are cattle so much handled, or so
well treated as in Holland, for they
live and are fed under the same roof
with the owner and his family, and
the housewives are models of neatness
and thrift. They are always white
and black spotted in color, red hairs
or spots of gray d~isqualify for record.
In size cows range from 100 to 1900
lbs, bulls at maturity from 1900 to
2400 lbs.
They have made their way by
merit alone, being confronted at
every step by the monied influence of
the Short horn aristocracy, but every
effort like the one at the Illinois
State Fair of 1876, to rule us out of
sweepstakes, served only to help us
on and give our cattle notoriety.
Were it not for being tedious 1 would
be pleased to bring an array of those
solid arguments, figures, in proof of
my statements, but in conclusion will
say that, while the Holstein for beef,
has crowded close upon. the Short
horn and Hereford, as milk and but
ter makers are the champions of the
world, having achieved a victory
over their formidable rival, the Jer-
sey, at Syracuse, N. Y, in a butter
test Of one days milk, producing 9
lbs OF by Chothilde 4th, owned by
Smith d Powell. So confident were
they of the success Of the Jersey, that

nineteen neutral or opposed. Ten
Republican papers + for it and six
neutral or opposed. OF the remain
ing papers no politics is given. OF
religious papers, one opposes the
amendment. There are about POO
papers and periodicals in the State,
